Hadith 845
أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَوْلَى ثَقِيفٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ، عَنْ حَفْصٍ ابْنِ أَخِي أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْحَلْقَةِ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَى الْقَوْمِ ، فَقَالَ : السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّلامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ " . فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ ، قَالَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَيْفَ قُلْتَ ؟ " فَرَدَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا قَالَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَقَدِ ابْتَدَرَهَا عَشَرَةُ أَمْلاكٍ كُلُّهُمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَى أَنْ يَكْتُبُوهَا ، فَمَا دَرَوْا كَيْفَ يَكْتُبُونَهَا ، فَرَجَعُوهُ إِلَى ذِي الْعِزَّةِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ ، فَقَالَ : اكْتُبُوهَا كَمَا قَالَ عَبْدِي " . قَالَ الشَّيْخُ : مَعْنَى " قَالَ عَبْدِي " فِي الْحَقِيقَةِ أَنِّي قَبِلْتُهُ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was sitting in a gathering with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). During this, a man came. He greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and also greeted those present. He said: "Peace be upon you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "And peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings." The man sat down and said: "All praise is due to Allah, praise that is abundant, pure, and blessed, which our Lord loves." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked that man: "What words did you say?" He repeated these words before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, twelve angels rushed towards it. Each of them wished to record it, but they did not know how to record it. They returned to Allah, so Allah said: 'Record it as My servant has said it.'" The Sheikh says: "The meaning of 'My servant has said' is in fact, I have accepted it."
